A video showing a cyclist who was flung off his bicycle after being hit by a taxi near Singapore Expo has gone viral since it was posted on Tuesday.

The Straits Times later reported that the police were called at 10pm and the incident had happened at the traffic junction of Upper Changi Road East and Somapah Road.
The cyclist, who was seen in the video dashing across the road before getting hit by a taxi, was reportedly identified as 52-year-old Wong Chee Hong.
